Reply To: The solver engine was unable to converge on a solution for the nonlinear problem

I have tried to run the simulation in different laptop which has higher no.of cores available than mine and then the simulation ran succesfully. Thanks a lot!
Instead of importing a solid model I assigned thickness to a shell structure thinking that it would reduce the meshing and solving time.
If I want to assign thickness of 0.5mm, should I increase the layers? if not after meshing each element seems like a cuboid and I wonder should I consider any ratio while assigning thickness to a shell structure?  
If I have to increase the layers please tell me where can I find that option ins ANSYS. I worked in prepomax but did not find the option in ANSYS. Also please tell me about the ratio of the width and height of element, whether should I consider that strictly (Incase if it wont give accurate results)
